RWY 18

Georgetown Exec sits in Georgetown, Texas. The field elevation is 789.5 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 5,004 ft. The tower is open from 0700 to 2200. No ILS approaches are published here.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 1,790 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in the Austin area, so expect busy local traffic. Coordinate carefully with tower and Austin Approach when needed. Clearance delivery is handled through Austin Approach.

Cutter Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Georgetown Executive Airport Terminal is also on the field. It carries 100LL. A few published remarks matter for planning. A section of taxiway F is not visible from the tower. Helicopter skid landings on runway 18/36 are prohibited because of the grooved surface. After tower hours, runway lighting on 18/36 comes up at a preset low setting. Use CTAF if you need to raise intensity or turn on runway end identifier lights. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and approach.
